Charlie Morrell returns in solid sequel...,
By
This review is from: Dead of Night: A Novel (Hardcover)
"Dead of Night" is Abella's follow-up to the events of "Killing of the Saints". Charlie's life has changed since the events of the last book. He is now an L.A lawyer, who was briefly famous for writing a book on santeria, but now he's in the grind of daily life. Until his mother passes away, and an old friend of hers asks him to find her godson, who turns out to be a Satanic follower of black magic. Charlie will have to resolve the past if he is to survive against Ricardo Diaz, who is linked to Charlie more than he knew. The chase goes on through Miami, Mexico and the Los Angeles area as Diaz adds to his body count, and Charlie is face to face with the sins of his father. Good thrills, but not as good as "Killing" was.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent chiller and better written than its predecessor.,

This review is from: Dead of Night: A Novel (Hardcover)
Abella's intimate knowledge of the Los Angeles Criminal Court system and personnel add to any local reader's enjoyment of this chilling and sometimes gruesome sequel to "Killing of the Saints." The suggestions of supernatural intervention add just the right flavor.

A page-turner.,

This review is from: Dead of Night: A Novel (Hardcover)
I recommend buying not only Dead of Night but also The Killling of the Saints, where Abella introduces his character Charlie Morell. All the right elements, passion, underworld figures, ethnic elements, are masterly weaved by this skilled writer. If you want to learn about the early days of the Cuban Revolution, read Abella's historical novel, The Great American, packed with solid research.
